Gilroy calls Andor his most significant career project

Tony Gilroy, creator of the Star Wars series Andor, calls the project the most important work of his career. In a recent interview, he expressed his deep connection to the series as he promotes its upcoming second season. Gilroy shared that Andor has significantly impacted his creative growth. He feels the show's unique vision and hard work put into it have made it a once-in-a-lifetime achievement. He stated, “I don’t think I’ll ever have a chance to work on anything as important as this.” Andor premiered in 2022 and quickly gained acclaim for its mature themes and narrative style. It captured the attention of critics and fans alike, even receiving an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series. The next season will debut on Disney+ in April and will be released in three-episode batches over four weeks. After Andor concludes, Gilroy plans to leave the Star Wars franchise to explore new opportunities. While he has previously worked on successful films like the Jason Bourne series and Michael Clayton, he believes that nothing compares to the significance of his role in Star Wars. Andor has resonated with audiences by tackling serious themes in a new storytelling style that stands apart from typical Star Wars tropes. Fans will miss Gilroy's approach as he steps away from the franchise, leaving future projects in question without his input.
